Nemesis No POV

Starscram: it's about time, Knockout. I do not enjoy being kept waiting.

Knockout: it was a long drive, Starscream. I'm still picking bugs out of my grille.

Starscream: yes, right. You're one of those.

Knockout: come again?

Starscream: never understood why any self-respecting Decepticon would choose automobile as his vehicle mode when he could have flight.

Knockout; I like the way I look in steel-belted radials. I take it Lord Megatron requires a laboratory assist.

Starscream; you... might say that.

They both went to the Med Bay where Wade, without his Sentinel, was fixing the scratches and holes in Megatron.

Knockout; woah.

Starscream: the human here has been doing an excellent work keeping our lord alive and in stasis, however he might need some more help.

Wade:<lifts his goggles up>

Starscream: sadly, our inevitably former Lord Megatron has been like this for some time. But the crew took a vote, and it was decided that a more experienced expert might put him on the road to recovery.

Knockout; I've done plenty of body work, Starscream, but I'm better at breaking them than fixing them. It would help if I had my assistant.

Starscream; I summoned both of you. Where is he?

Knockout; we were hot on a fresh energon trail when you called. Breakdown will show when he's through scouting it.

Timeskip

Breakdown returned as Wade was done patching up another hole in Megatron. Breakdown told Starscream of the Energon Harvester as Starscream called Soundwave over and Soundwave tapped into the internet and found a picture of a Greek statue holding a gold ball.

Breakdown; Mm-hmm. That's definitely it.

Starscream; then I'm afraid Megatron's well-being will have to wait. It's harvest time. Human, do you know the location of this picture?

Wade: I do.

Starscream; if we get you inside, can you get it out?

Wade: before the Autobots arrive? Without question. I can get in and out on my own.

Timeskip

The Autobots were at the city as they spread out and covered each side of the building.

Optimus: Autobots, confirm position.

Arcee: westward Ho.

Bee:<buzzing>

Bulkhead: south side covered.

Optimus: maintain your guard. <gets on com> Jack, Miko, Rafael, I will have a clear view of you. Once you secure the Harvester, I will contact Ratchet to bridge you back to base.

A ground bridge appeared in the museum as Jack drove a lift with Raf and Miko on it as they were in front of the statue but the Harvester was missing.

Jack:<gets on the phone> Optimus, the Harvester is gone.

Optimus:<com> what?! Can you find it?

Jack: we'll try.

Outside

Knockout drove over to Optimus in his own vehicle form.

Knockout:<whistles> sweet rims. 24 gauge? You're real heavy-duty. Just like my friend here.
